Deathangels Shadow Posted Sep 2, 2007, 2:20 am	The original mesh of the week is mostly done, just need to rig it now.  This one's Speedealer's request.  Here are some screenshots:
*Speedealer* Posted Sep 2, 2007, 2:34 am	complete with suicide doors! she's a bute deathy! The rust looks awesome - more to scale that other cars. I think my first one will be "pimp purple". p.s. nice porn popups
Deathangels Shadow Posted Sep 2, 2007, 10:51 am	Forgot to mention - 506 polys.
*sam* Posted Sep 2, 2007, 11:08 am	Nice! Looks like a fairly beefy car, yes?
Deathangels Shadow Posted Sep 2, 2007, 11:14 am	I included a synopsis of the stats in the e-mail I sent you that contains the rigged version ready to go. To put it succinctly, though... It's a Lincoln. An old Lincoln. 'nuff said.

P.S. I got a popup to go to the caribbean!
*Speedealer* Posted Sep 2, 2007, 11:06 pm	I have a 68 chrysler imperial. Sadly it's not this one (mine's a 4 door sedan, no convertible) but the sweet ass grill is the same. Nothin but chrome baby! I couldn't afford a contential. But now I can.
Deathangels Shadow Posted Sep 3, 2007, 12:47 am	While I was googling for the stats for this car, one of the top results was for one for sale on Craigslist, amusingly enough right here in town.  How's that for coincidence?  Only $4k too, with the text "needs TLC" which translates to "it's *bleep*in' broke!"
*Chase Bansi* JohnBMan033@aol.com Posted Sep 3, 2007, 1:57 am	Another great vehicle Deathy! Reminds me of my high school days- cruisin' in a buddy's mom's car. A regular party on wheels and the great choice for a battle car.
Tez Posted Jul 15, 2012, 8:22 pm	So...
*Bastille* Posted Jul 15, 2012, 10:56 pm	yeah
Serephe Posted Jul 16, 2012, 7:29 am	The good old days ended before their time.
*Tango* Posted Jul 16, 2012, 11:05 am	This vehicle is slow coming. OP "Posted Sep 1, 2007, 9:20 pm"
*JeeTeeOh* Posted Jul 16, 2012, 3:41 pm	*Tango* said: This vehicle is slow coming.  OP "Posted Sep 1, 2007, 9:20 pm" More importantly, what happened to this "Deathy" guy that apparently can conjure up new chassis with regularity? Still have dreams of a '66 Pontiac GTO.
*goat starer* Posted Jul 16, 2012, 4:51 pm	i think the bigger question is how much time tez must have on his hands to be trawling threads from 5 years ago

*goat starer* Posted Jul 16, 2012, 8:28 pm	i believe finding that link in the wiki constitutes at least fishing... if not trawling
*Tango* Posted Jul 16, 2012, 9:03 pm	you'll want one of these and a couple of these
*Bastille* Posted Jul 17, 2012, 12:30 am	This would have been a great chas though. I remember deathy talking about this, but never saw the pics before. GIR said: To put it succinctly, though... It's a Lincoln. An old Lincoln. 'nuff said. Im guessing the poly count was too high? ...and that (unfortunately) you didn't say enough  ...and that Shadow did the BPU too?
Tez Posted Jul 17, 2012, 12:32 pm	506 polys is too many?
*Bastille* Posted Jul 17, 2012, 10:37 pm	has to be some good reason this model is not in the game, better than most of the rubbish we have.
*DoubleTap* Posted Jul 17, 2012, 11:58 pm	Rubbish? Come on, Bas.
*goat starer* Posted Jul 18, 2012, 12:46 am	well personally i think its a terrible rendition of the car... but i also agree that many of the vehicles are rubbish.. especially the newer ones.. wurzel is embarrassingly poorly rendered, trash truck is a dreadful model. I appreciate the effort people put into making them but they are just not as good as earlier vehicles. equally the newer character models are bloody awful... embarrassing and clumsy compared to the original bunch. there have been some great additions graphically (some maps, the weapon models) but i think sam has to a large extent taken his eye off the ball in adding player content that is not up to scratch. and screw it.. i can say this because everyone hates me anyway!
*Bastille* Posted Jul 18, 2012, 1:28 am	hehe,  Throws eggs at goat. Quote: Rubbish? Come on, Bas. All just tongue in cheek guys I like all the models to be honest. Even the Motorhome and that is considered to be... well.. lets say , not so useful, by most of the player base. It looks cool though, and is quite the novelty imo. Im most appreciative of all the effort anyone has put into this game over the years. I'd like this car in the game, that is all I really mean to say. Its a cool yank tank, and its not like we have many yank tanks  One more wouldn't hurt really,... would it? A 1968 Roadrunner would be very cool too I think, or GTX. The combi would be cool too (I was going to get around to skinning that at one point, but my skins are no where near as neat as the originals, Goats, Jeets or Revs.)
*Bastille* Posted Jul 18, 2012, 1:33 am	Or This new guy, Baker. His skins are way cool.

Tez Posted Jul 18, 2012, 9:28 am	The Corghette doesn't sit on it's axles straight either...
*Rev. V* Posted Jul 19, 2012, 5:35 pm	"A 1968 Roadrunner would be very cool too I think, or GTX. " Oh YESSSSSS...... as long as the GTX was a '70.....

*Wolfsbane* Posted Jul 19, 2012, 8:11 pm	Yeah, I thought that might be it. It's actually another export problem (the normals are flipped) same as the Courghette. One of the sedans has the same issue - there's a hole, but you normally never see it because it's underneath.
*Bastille* Posted Jul 20, 2012, 1:37 am	Sometimes half the bottom of symphs and moose disappear... but its the desert, and probably just a miragee Quote: (and bas throws eggs at me!) I painted them first  Consider it a pre-order for easter

*JeeTeeOh* Posted Jul 20, 2012, 3:57 am	Sorry Rev, but the GTX has to be first-generation. '64, '65 mebbe. As for goat-hating, yeah, I'm gonna have to opt out. You speak your mind goat, and I respect that. Even if you are a bit off yer rocker sometimes.

musashi_san Posted Jul 23, 2012, 11:55 pm	personally, and i'll probably get flamed for this, i think there's enough american muscle already (not that they're not beautiful cars). i'd like to see an evo or an sti or a gtx. smaller all wheel drive pseudo muscle cars that are better offroad and with more grip would be killer, kind of like a buggy/moray hybrid, or something like that.

musashi_san Posted Jul 25, 2012, 12:55 am	yes! that's it! wow is that real? gotta look that up...
musashi_san Posted Jul 25, 2012, 1:01 am	wow, it *is* real. wonder if they do test drives...
*JeeTeeOh* Posted Jul 25, 2012, 2:46 am	musashi_san said: wow, it *is* real. wonder if they do test drives... Look up a company called Local Motors, here in Arizona. Pretty exciting (and very cool) stuff.  EDIT: Dunno where the heck they got that "30mpg" figure on the poster. That's absurdly high according to everyone.
*Snipe* Posted Jul 25, 2012, 3:46 am	Still waiting for my car to show up.  I think it would be perfect - why do you think I bought it?  Best time to prepare is now - will be mounting the RL/MMG in a few weeks
*JeeTeeOh* Posted Jul 25, 2012, 2:45 pm	FAR more practical than my selection. Tell me that's not an old AMC... hahahaha nice!!
